Outside, thunder rumbled and the rain poured down.
Mu Li burst into tears.
She remembered a song Qi Yanxi learned a long time ago when he had been courting Li Fanxing.
A line of the lyrics was still fresh in her memory.
"No matter how bleak this world is, solitude doesn't scare me, for I love you."
But her own world had long been a place of desolation. Why had her love for him brought her no salvation, but only pain?
"I'm sorry, but we can't have this baby." Qi Yanxi was determined. Unlike the cheerful mood he was always in when he was around An Xiaxia, the look he now gave Mu Li was fierce and resolute.
He had always been ruthless with himself, and was even more so with anyone else that wasn't An Xiaxia.
"What if I said I must have this baby?" Mu Li said stubbornly.
Qi Yanxi caressed her cheek with his cool fingertips.
"Mu Li, we've known each other for so long. Don't be so cheap, will you?"
